Demystifying probabilistic linkage

International Journal of Population Data Science, 2018
Many of the distinctions made between probabilistic and deterministic linkage are misleading. While these two approaches to record linkage operate in different ways and can produce different outputs, the distinctions between them are more a result of how

Incremental record linkage [PDF]

Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment, 2014
Record linkage clusters records such that each cluster corresponds to a single distinct real-world entity. It is a crucial step in data cleaning and data integration. In the big data era, the velocity of data updates is often high, quickly making previous linkage results obsolete.

Quality and complexity measures for data linkage and deduplication [PDF]

, 2007
Summary. Deduplicating one data set or linking several data sets are increasingly important tasks in the data preparation steps of many data mining projects. The aim of such linkages is to match all records relating to the same entity.
